See http://www.kfs.org/~jonathan/witt/mapen.html for a nicely presented online
Tractatus -- the statement in question, "Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist",
is the first sentence in the the book. Kai, could you offer me any insight about
sentence 1.2, "Die Welt zerfällt in Tatsachen"? The translation offered is "The
world divides into facts"; when I initially saw "zerfällt" I thought it might
mean something less neutral than "divides", like "crumbles" or "deteriorates".
